This was a result from my local development piuparts instance. I did not
get any errors for the other grub packages (they either passed (likely)
or could not be tested due to a failing dependency (unlikely) - didn't
check). I usually run different tests, new scripts, changed parameters
than piuparts.d.o, but this failure doesn't look like I caught something
specific to my setup.

piuparts.d.org updates the .html pages and published logfiles twice per
day, so there may be some lag ... and there also seems to be a bit
backlog of packages to be tested right now

There is /dev/null (and some more needed devices, but no hardware
access) and /proc is mounted, but /sys is not. So far this was
sufficient :-)

There is an "ischroot" command in debianutils.

No, they work out-of-the-box now.
